Abstract
In Machine Translation (MT), we reuse past translation that is encoded into a set of cases, where case is the input sentence and its corresponding translation. A case which is similar to the input sentence will be retrieved and a solution is produced by adapting its target language. The CBR approach of MT is used as a learning technique in the domain of MT of English to Sanskrit language. In our approach, syntactical feature of English language is part of the ...

Abstract
The Thesaurus Linguae Graecae (TLG) is a digital library of Greek literature established in 1972 at the University of California, Irvine. The project has collected and digitized virtually all texts from the period between Homer (8th century BC) and AD 600 as well as all scholia, historiographical and lexicographical works from the period between AD 600 and the fall of Byzantium in 1453. Its collection at present includes nearly 10, 000 works from over 3, 000 authors - in excess of ...

Abstract
The paper assembles evidence from the CTI project in ancient Greek literature at Manchester that computers can be dangerous to the health of literary studies as traditionally conceived. The study aid program being developed under the project aims ultimately to offer the student (of classical Greek primarily, but extension to other languages is on the way) an alternative to the traditional armoury of reference works used in reading course texts. Computerised versions of lexicon, grammar, commentary. texts for comparison, etc.—entries relevant ...

Abstract
This paper presents a computational model for nonlinear morphology with illustrations from Syriac and Arabic. The model is a multitiered one in that it allows for multiple lexical representations corresponding to the multiple tiers of autosegmental phonology. The model consists of three main components: (i) a lexicon, which is made of sublexica, with each sublexicon representing lexical material from a specific tier, (ii) a rewrite rules component that maps multiple lexical representations into one surface form and vice versa, and (iii) ...

Abstract
Serto is the cursive alphabet of Syriac-Aramaic, which is used by the largest corpus of documents in libraries in Aramaic. A lingua franca, and often a source language, Aramaic has influenced major Judaic, Christian and Islamic thoughts as well as the development of science. The script is cursive, e.g. Arabic, and consequently it has a hand-writing appearance compared to Latin. Serto, and Aramaic in practice, has not an automatic character recognition system, OCR Most library documents are reproductions using printed characters. ...

Abstract
This paper describes a model that has been developed in the Turgama Project at Leiden University to meet the challenges encountered in the computational analysis of ancient Syriac Biblical manuscripts. The small size of the corpus, the absence of native speakers, and the variation attested in the multitude of textual witnesses require a model of encoding---rather than tagging---that moves from the formal distributional registration of linguistic elements to functional deductions. The model is illuminated by an example from verb inflection. It ...

Abstract
In corpus creation human annotation is expensive. Annotation costs can be minimized through machine learning and active learning, however there are many complex interactions among the machine learner, the active learning technique, the annotation cost, human annotation accuracy, the annotator user interface, and several other elements of the process. For example, we show that changing the way in which annotators are paid can drastically change the performance of active learning techniques. To date these interactions have been poorly understood. We introduce ...

Abstract
We are interested in diacritizing Semitic languages, especially Syriac, using only dia-critized texts. Previous methods have required the use of tools such as part-of-speech taggers, segmenters, morphological analyzers, and linguistic rules to produce state-of-the-art results. We present a low-resource, data-driven, and language-independent approach that uses a hybrid word- and consonant-level conditional Markov model. Our approach rivals the best previously published results in Arabic (15% WER with case endings), without the use of a morphological analyzer. In Syriac, we reduce the WER ...

Abstract
Within the archaeology domain, datasets frequently refer to time periods using a variety of textual or numeric formats. Traditionally controlled vocabularies of time periods have used classification notation and the collocation of terms in the printed form to represent and convey tacit information about the relative order of concepts. The emergence of the semantic web entails encoding this knowledge into machine readable forms, and so the meaning of this informal ordering arrangement can be lost. Conversion of controlled vocabularies to Simple ...

Abstract
One of the assumptions of current software for visualizingarchitecture is that the underlying geometry is a correct, objective andcomplete representation of the objects in question. However, we arguethat such an ideal situation can hardly be met. Instead, there are avariety of situations in which there is considerable uncertaintyassociated with some features of a model. Furthermore, the model usallystems from design decisions which are not encoded in the model but whichmay be important for users. We argue that more information aboutgeometric models ...

Abstract
This paper looks at some of the domain specific preservation challenges faced by the Archaeology Data Service and how we work with these in order to maximise the re-use potential of the data that we archive. It looks in particular at one of the mandatory responsibilities of an Open Archival Information System (OAIS) and how we try to ensure that the data that we present to our designated community is ‘independently understandable’. The paper introduces the collaborative ‘Guides to Good Practice’ ...

Abstract
Publications of computer applications in archaeology are reviewed for the period between 1990 and 1996 inclusive. The influence of technological developments on research effort is noted, and particular areas of growth are described. One of the major trends during the review period has been the increase in use of geographical information systems (GIS), but these have still to fulfill their potential. The increased uses of computers for education, communication, and electronic publication are also regarded as important growth areas. ...

Abstract
Abstract Museums, archives, libraries and other cultural heritage institutes maintain large collections of artefacts, which are valuable knowledge sources for both experts and interested lay persons. Recently, more and more cultural heritage institutes have started to digitise their collections, for instance to make them accessible via web portals. However, while digitisation is a necessary first step towards improved information access, to fully unlock the knowledge contained in these collections, users have to be able to easily browse, search and query these ...

Abstract
Manual document annotation is an essential technique for knowledge acquisition and capture. Creating high-quality annotations is a difficult task due to inter-annotator discrepancy, the problem that annotators can never agree completely on what and exactly how to annotate. To address this, traditional document annotation involves multiple domain experts working on the same annotation task in an iterative and collaborative manner to identify and resolve discrepancies progressively. However, such a detailed process is often ineffective despite taking significant time and effort; unfortunately, ...

Abstract
The diffusion of epigraphic data has evolved in the last years from printed catalogues to indexed digital databases shared through the Web. Recently, the open EpiDoc specifications have resulted in an XML-based schema for the interchange of ancient texts that uses XSLT to render typographic representations. However, these schemas and representation systems are still not providing a way to encode computational semantics and semantic relations between pieces of epigraphic data. This paper sketches an approach to bring these semantics into an ...

Abstract
Primary data, though an essential resource for supporting authoritative archaeological narratives, rarely enters the public record. Lack of primary data publication is also a major obstacle to cultural heritage preservation and the goals of cultural resource management (CRM). Moreover, access to primary data is key to contesting claims about the past and to the formulation of credible alternative interpretations. In response to these concerns, experimental systems have implemented a variety of strategies to support online publication of primary data. Online data ...

Abstract
This paper assesses the performance of three taggers (MBT, TnT and TreeTagger)when used for the morphosyntactic annotation of classical Latin texts. With this aim in view, we selected the training corpora, as well as the samples used for tests, from the texts of the LASLA database. The texts were chosen according to their ability to allow testing of the taggers sensitivity to stylistic, diachronic, generic or discursive variations. On the one hand,this research pinpoints the achievements of each tagger according to ...

e-Research and Cyberinfrastructure programmes actively promote the development of new forms of scientific practice and collaboration through the implementation of tools and technologies that support distributed collaborative work across geographically dispersed research institutes and laboratories. Whilst originating in scientific domains, we have more recently seen a turn to the design of systems that support research practices in the social sciences and the arts and humanities. Attempts to embed large-scale infrastructures into research settings has brought to the fore the necessity of ...

Abstract
Over the years, the field of Language Resources and Technology (LRT) has developed a tremendous amount of resources and tools. However, there is no ready-to-use map that researchers could use to gain a good overview and steadfast orientation when searching for, say corpora or software tools to support their studies. It is rather the case that information is scattered across project- or organisation-specific sites, which makes it hard if not impossible for less-experienced researchers to gather all relevant material. Clearly, the ...

Abstract
Within the field of archival science, recent attention has been paid to identifying scholastic practices that will ensure the development of innovative research as well as the preparedness of future archival educators. Information science, long the academic frame of archival programs in the U.S. and elsewhere, currently allows for considerable co-expansion with digital humanities innovations when we consider the possibility of digital libraries, digital archives, and web-based collections integrating a humanist approach to display and users' interactivity with cultural objects. This ...
